On June 7, Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) signed into law a bill the Retail Association of Nevada and NACDS promoted mandating that by Friday, January 1, 2021, all controlled substances prescriptions be submitted electronically. Our bill sponsor Assembly Speaker Jason Frierson (D) said, “With the signing of Assembly Bill 310, Nevada now joins the growing number of states that have passed mandatory e-prescribing laws in an effort to combat the opioid crisis.” Frierson added, “Electronic prescribing has proven to be an effective tool for reducing unlawful and fraudulent prescriptions, tracking and monitoring medication regimens, and reigning in doctor shopping.”
